Pain at bridge of nose 5 weeks post op. Any suggestions?

June 30, 2015
Asked By:NKnewnose in Madison, WI

I still have pain at the bridge of my nose almost 5 weeks post op, especially when I make certain facial movements or suck from a straw. I had bilateral osteotomies and my tip refined. No implants/grafts. I was wondering if on and off pain at the bridge is normal still at this point? It's not unbearable, but uncomfortable sometimes. Thank you!
